Websites and automations that ship in a week. From people who actually pick up the phone.
We build clean, fast websites and custom business automations for local businesses — usually live in under a week, for a fraction of what an agency charges.
Get back to what you're actually good at.
You didn't start your business to build websites or wrestle with spreadsheets. Here's what working with us actually gives you:
Focus on your craft
Run the business you love. We handle the tech in the background so you can put your hours into the work that actually pays.
Get your time back
Automations replace the manual busywork eating your week — invoice chasing, lead follow-up, weekly reports. Hours back, every single week.
Reach customers who don't know you exist
A fast, well-built, SEO-optimized website means the people searching for exactly what you offer actually find you — instead of your competitor.
Two things, done really well.
We keep our scope tight on purpose. You get senior attention on every project — not a handoff to a junior designer.
Website Development
Clean, fast, mobile-friendly sites that make you look like the professional you are. Hosting, SSL, and ongoing updates included.
See packagesBusiness Automation
Custom scripts and workflows that handle the repetitive stuff — invoice reminders, lead follow-up, reporting — so you can get back to real work.
See what we automateBoth, Bundled
Most of our clients start with a website, then add automation once they see what's possible. Happy to quote them together.
Ask us about itSharp, fast, and actually responsive.
We're a two-man shop on purpose. No overhead, no project managers, no "we'll circle back Tuesday." We're also local business owners ourselves — we run Bearcat Turf, Middle School Matchup DFW West, and LNDMRK Drone — so we know exactly what you're dealing with.
Speed that matters
Most sites ship in under a week. Most automations in two. We don't believe in dragging projects out to pad invoices.
Honest pricing
A fraction of what agencies charge, because we don't have a downtown office or a sales team to pay for. You pay for the work. See how that stacks up against a Wix site.
Personal service
You work directly with Colin and Carson. Your questions go to the people building the thing — not to a ticket queue.
Real marketing chops
Colin spent 20 years building brands like Red Bull, Chipotle, Match.com, and AT&T. You get that playbook on your small business — not just a pretty site.
We've built million-dollar businesses
We've stood up and run small businesses doing seven figures. We know you don't have time to figure out your website or wire up automations — and we know you can't afford to go without them either. That's exactly why we're here.
Our stuff runs on this too.
We're not agency people who read about small business — we own three of them in this county. Every one runs on the exact stack we sell.

How fast will my site be live?
Most sites ship in 5–7 business days from kickoff. Automations usually take about two weeks. We don't drag projects out to pad invoices.
Who am I actually working with?
Colin and Carson Burns — a father-son team in Aledo, TX. Your questions go to the people building the thing. No project managers, no ticket queue, no offshore handoff.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Custom code, no platform lock-in. If you ever leave, the code goes with you — unlike Wix or Squarespace, where the site dies with the subscription.
I already have a Wix or Squarespace site. Worth switching?
We'll tell you honestly if it's worth keeping — sometimes it is. When it's not, we rebuild it custom, usually live within a week, and your Google rankings carry over because we handle every redirect.
